"The Great Round World and What Is Going On In It, Vol. 1, No. 33, June 24, 1897" by Various is a weekly magazine transporting young readers back to the late 19th century where they can explore worldly happenings through youthful eyes. Acting as a newspaper for boys and girls during this period, this snapshot of time shares a diverse mix of education and news.

Sparking concern for justice and humanitarian issues, these stories encourage young readers to think critically about the world around them.
